Three days. Shell of a man. copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfCyK9Fasq

I'd been in college for three days, and at that moment, there was no way my dad or anyone couldn't have told me that I didn't already know everything I needed to know to completely master this place the same way I had in high school. Out of my league I knew it all. I knew that Ronald J. Winthrop was our school founder, and that he dabbled in slavery. I knew that the Cal U basketball team of 1958 would get bodied by the Cal U basketball team today. copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ROHptnNuI

This reception is Drug boy's steady shooting But the one thing I didn't know about college, that I'd never admit to my dad or anybody else, was that in all actuality, I would soon discover that I didn't know anything. We're trapped inside the matrix Which was obvious because I was enrolled in a midnight class that no one in their right mind would ever want to be in And I especially didn't know that the same film my dad begged me to watch this weekend, the same film that ignited our father-daughter bond, the film that taught me how to apply lipstick with my boobs, would be way closer to my real life than I ever knew.copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMX2kIb0SE

So, just like "The Breakfast Club," these six losers who I normally never would have even spoken to, would not only become my friends, but some of the closest people to me in my life. Like Nomi she's my boo.copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfiptXSpOm

"What the fuck are you looking at?"copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjhUktbhop

But it didn't exactly start off that way.See, Nomi wasn't your typical Jewish-American princess. In fact, she wasn't your typical anything.She liked Rottweilers and moshing at Swedish death-metal concerts. She was a liberated woman who didn't conform to the boundaries or laws that her family, society, or 49 of the 50 states deemed acceptable. And then there were these two. copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxinn1QRWQ

Despite their Simi Valley accent, the twins from Tyler Perry's "The Shining" were actually from the hood. They were also Cal U's hottest track recruits, which meant they were judged about everything, just like the young, Black, female athletes who came before them were scrutinized about their speed, their bodies, even their edges. But America's darlings were a far cry from this guy, who had a different opinion about America. copyright protection9ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEGvGwrJdd
